Tire pressure

Should I air them all to the same pressure like the tires say (80psi I'm pretty sure) or what my door says, which is like 66 in the front and 80 in the back I believe (not looking at it right now)? Thanks,

Zac

What's on your door sticker is what you should use.

No, for proper tire wear the pressure depends on the loading. If your truck is fully loaded most of the time, the door tag is probably good, but if you're unloaded most of the time, air down for even tire wear.

65-70 all the way around if you are unloaded if you have load range E's. if you are running D's then max them out at 65psi.
